EN Vela is a site-specific project made for Residência Artística Pé-de-Cabra. It is a sculpture raised on a very damaged place of the exhibition building. The material used, wax, can be found through small scale objects part of portuguese traditional protection cults, adapted from catholic practices. Limbs and organs of wax, taper candles with specific measurements, and slow or fast wicks, lit for different intents. To guard the room its height was measured, the distance from the floor up until the ceiling – three meters coma fifty two; the height of the cult object augmented into the scale of a sculpture.
